May 26, 1877.

To all whom it may concern:

vBe it known that I, JOHN J. PANcosT, of Saybrook, in the county ofAshtabula and State of Ohio, have invented a new and Iment; and I dohereby declare that the following is a full'and exact description of thesame, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to theletters of' reference marked thereon.

Figure l is a front view frame detached.

My invention relates to certain improvements in whiffletree bars andeveners, to be attached to wagons and carriages.

My improvements consist in the particular construction and arrangementof the frame for holding the evener-bar, and that for holding theWhietree, togetherwith the band passing over the central brace, therebygiving additional strength, raising the upper bearing to sufcient heightabove the evener to reduce friction on the pin and its bearings.

In the accompanying drawings, A represents the pole of a carriage orwagon. B is the evener of the ordinary description, titted into thelower portions of the two iron frames Fand G, held by pins E and E. Gisthe whifetree passing through the upper portion of the frame G, and heldin place by the pin E'. D is the brace, of iron, fastened at itsopposite ends to the pole A, and passing over the frame F to giveadditional strength and 5 Fig. 2, a view of Param# Qrr'ron. i

dated July 31, 1877 application filed the draft in the same direction atboth bearings, thereby greatly obviating the tendency to twist or roll,the advantage being in the adaptability of a lighter pin, as bearingsare above evener, and equalized.

In Fig. 2, a is the upper section of the frame for holding thewhiflletree. b the lower, in the form shown, for fitting on the end ofevener-bar. The upper section is of sufficient width to allow the playto and fro of the whiftletree on its bearings.
